That New Car Smell #thatnewcarsmell

A recent phone call let us know about some old cars that were for sale.
Now I have been in some remote storage places for cars. But in over 25 years buying and selling this one may have been the worst smelling!! Before entering we were told we may want to put on a mask and some gloves as there had been raccoons living in this location.  We ran to a hardware store and got the necessary supplies.  Sitting in the back of the so called building were 2 , 1940's era cars that sure looked solid but to get to them out a wall would probably have to come down due to additions being added over the years.  We climbed over old chairs, wood timbers and boxes of what looked to be old grain sacks.  I moved a large box and the bottom fell out and the smell was hitting me like a ton of bricks as it was a Condo for 100's of generations of mice.
We finally got to the 1st car and got the door open and once again the smell was overwhelming . This time it was a mold smell. There were boxes of old papers and log and record books inside from the '60's .  Well anyway we got to see what we needed to see and maybe some time in the future we will be able to retrieve these solid relics once are sense of smell recovers or leaves us.
Longing for that new car smell !!
